Members kevinmiller Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 What's that supposed to mean? The chilies, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Covenanter Posted December 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Someone at the town hall was OBviously feeling creative & hoping to design lights that would not offend anyone of any religion .... I would not want explicit Christmas lights anyway. But I do find chilies very offensive - to my taste & digestive system. The Indians are very fond of overloading their cooking with them (yuck!)

Members Covenanter Posted December 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 You wouldn't make it in Korea then. Our Korean friend (living in the Philippines) told us how he tried to make kimchi (fermented cabbage) when his wife was away. His son's comment: 'There can be no success without failure' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kevinmiller Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 lol. I've made cucumber kimchi before but not the regular stuff. I had enough friends to supply me with homemade kimchi throughout the year if I needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like some chillie, but you can have too much of them. When on a food hygeine course in Canterbury last year, we were told of a local busuinessman who had an overchillied curry that had damaged his stomach lining and he could never lie down again and keep food down.
